In many lands, other than those in which English is the native tongue, school children confidently master the spelling of their own languages by the time they complete their third year of schooling. This is not so in the United States, where students study spelling throughout elementary school, high school, and into college. Even so, proficient spellers are rare. Most of us keep a dictionary close at hand, sometimes to clarify the meaning or pronunciation of a word but more frequently to check on spelling. Despite the fact that English is probably the most difficult language to spell, it is undoubtedly the most popular of the 3,000 languages alive today. It ranks second in number of native speakers (275 million compared to 585 million native speakers of Mandarin Chinese). It is so widely used in diplomacy, international business, and science that millions of people around the world choose it, above all others, to learn as a second language.
